Angels Online: Top 5 Male Overview

The Lost Atlantis, the new expansion for Angels Online continues the cute game style with many beautiful female NPCs and handsome male NPCs having been added into the game. Today, the Angels Online team from IGG will be discussing the top 5 Male NPC in game.

Michael
Michael has no worries about his place atop the rankings. And, truth be told, he is in an enviable position. As the leader of the Angel Lyceum, he is knowledgeable and elegant. He has made large contributions to the Angel Lyceum both in battle, in management and as an example and role model to young Angels everywhere. Enemies of Eden tremble at the mention of his name and he is the primary reason that the forces of Good always seem to have the upper hand in battle after battle.

Terra Keeper
As a protector of the totem, Terra Keeper is always respectable in players’ eyes. He has a body strong as steel and he can move as quickly as eagles. Although he is always serious, he is always willing to give players a hand when they are in danger.

Diving Coach Nira
After the new expansion was released, players were able to easily find this lonely NPC in the south of Puqi Village. 80% of the total area of Atlantis is covered by the raging ocean. If players would like to adventure in this mysterious area, they have to learn the diving skill from Nira. Although he looks a little weak, he is like a fish in the water. Growing up near the sea for such a long time, he feels ties to the crashing of waves and the taste of salt in the air.

Smith Waliz
Demons like to hide under the deepest parts of the ground because of the abundant treasure. Smith Waliz and his wife constantly manufacturing high-level equipment in Hell Palace far underground all the time. They have no choice. Those rare and super materials can only be found in the worst environments.

Voyage Officer
The navigation of Eden has reached its peak now because Atlantis possesses vast uncharted areas of ocean. The Voyage Officer is one of the excellent voyagers from Eden. He spent years of his life adrift on the sea and has experienced all that sea life has to offer. However, he is very tough man and his vast experience gives him more courage.

Tales of Pirates: Abandoned Evil Mine Introduction

Today the folks at Tales of Pirates are going to tell you about the Abandoned Evil Mine. In Tales of Pirates there is a large mine known as the Abandoned Evil Mine near the Argent City Haven. It is said that there are many Bosses between level 30 and level 50 there. If level 30+ players have the courage to challenge them, then it can prove an excellent place for them to level up quickly. However, the Bosses and the guards there are so vicious that many pirates have lost their lives. Do you have the guts to fight behind enemy lines and bring back treasure from those monsters?

The light in the mine is so dim that you can only feel where you are going by using your feet and hands. Its like a maze, there are many junctions and dead ends. So if you are not familiar with the layout you’d better follow some experienced players. There is also an entrance to the Silver Mine in this mine. You will meet level 25 bandits, mystic shrubs and the powerful boss Behemoth. After beating them, you can obtain many treasures and items. You need to find an entrance in the 1st story to go to the 2nd story.

Revealing the mystery of the mine, getting rid of the source of evil, finding treasure, and perfect team work. These are your quests in the Abandoned Evil Mine.

12Sky 2 Interview: Onrpg Members’ Questions Answered

Questions by the Onrpg Members

Answered by Shawn Silverman, Chief Game Operations Officers for MAYN Interactive Pte Ltd.

After the success of TwelveSky (12Sky), the new game Twelve Sky 2 (12sky 2) is currently in development and will prove to be an adrenaline-pumping martial arts MMORPG, ultimately intended for English speaking gamers in the European market. 12Sky 2 introduces a completely revamped game system and plenty of new features. Onrpg Members were offered a unique chance to prepare questions for MAYN Interactive about what can be expected from 12Sky 2!

Hello! This is Shawn “Phenteo” Silverman, and I am the Chief Game Operations Officer for MAYN Interactive Pte Ltd. It is a pleasure to be here with you all on Onrpg!

Onrpg members: How will TwelveSky 2 stand out from its preceding title? What are some of the core differences between these two MMORPGS?

Shawn: “TwelveSky 2” is the next step in the enthralling Chinese Saga. Players who may be already familiar with the original version will be glad to know many popular features will make their return. However, many new and exciting changes have made their way into version 2 and are quite apparent from the start. Such changes include new capital cities, beautiful new pets, dazzling new skills, Player versus Player wars starting from level 10, and not to mention a vastly improved graphics engine to say the least.

In addition, the storyline for “TwelveSky 2” has been immensely revised and remolded. Taking a unique approach, even compared to its sister versions currently released in Korea and Taiwan, the lore will be a lot more comprehensible and appealing.

Onrpg members: There are lots of 12Sky fans here, so what improvements can they look forward to in 12Sky 2?

Shawn: The reason behind the remake was that Gigassoft, the developer studio, felt that the original game was outdated. Not only in terms of graphics but on a technological front as well. So when they set out to redesign the game from the ground up, everything was improved whether it be the graphics engine GXD or the flow design of the zone maps themselves. Everything has been modified for the better. In addition, we have been able to make some additional changes in the European version of “TwelveSky 2” which we feel that our guests will enjoy very much; changes such as an ingame achievement system, among other improvements.

Onrpg members: Are there any elements of the original 12Sky that you have found unsuccessful and will not make it into the sequel?

Shawn: Yes, unfortunately, not everything has returned to “TwelveSky 2”. One of which is that you no longer have to wait until the “end game” in order to start enjoying Player versus Player combat. Fresh players are now able to compete on a fair battlefield starting from level 10!

Onrpg members: What differs this game from any other F2P MMO? Any unique features?

Shawn: The majority of games out there are designed on a “Turn-Based” combat system. “TwelveSky 2” however is not. Not only is the combat in real-time, it’s one of the most intensive and quick-paced out there! A properly executed attack, or a lack thereof, may be the deciding factor of a significant battle.

Of course, we could also talk about the dozens of lavishly designed pets, the elegantly designed weapons and armor, the glistening graphics, the story of an epic ode, and of course the bloody fights. 😉

Onrpg members: What are your ambitions for the release of this upcoming title?

Shawn: Our ambition for “TwelveSky 2” is to create a welcoming and unique experience for people new and old to online gaming, or to the Saga of TwelveSky for that matter. And how do we embark on such a daring journey you may ask? It all starts with a company motto: “In everything we do, we ask ourselves a simple question – will this make our players happy?”

In addition, we are also calling our highly valued players “guests”. By changing the label to that of a more respectable notation, the mindset among our staff begins to change. After all, you treat your guests with the utmost honor and patience.

Those are just a few examples we have in store.

Onrpg members: Will you be frequently releasing new content for Twelve Sky 2?

Shawn: Yes! The basis for any healthy survival of an online game is the continuous release of content and new activities for the community to appreciate, and “TwelveSky 2” will not be an exception to this. “TwelveSky 2” is still a very new game and has a large amount of coders and designers churning out fresh and exhilarating updates. Map updates, User Interface redesigns, you name it!

We at MAYN will be working closely with Gigassoft to make sure we have a good flow of patches coming our way.

Onrpg members: Are there going to be new classes in 12Sky 2?

Shawn: “TwelveSky 2” won’t be sporting a new class per say, but will have a new player faction called the “Ancient Sky Clan”. This once forgotten people fell victim of a large volcano many years ago and have just recently returned to the civilized world, still masters of the arts just as they were the day the city vanished.

Onrpg members: Will all the content be available from the start or will certain zones for people who leveled too quickly be locked like they were in the original Twelve Sky?

Shawn: At this time we do not have any plans to instate an “artificial” level cap for content pertaining to “TwelveSky 2”. Some zones however are restricted until an individual reaches a certain requirement, such as a certain level.

Onrpg members: The Jinong race has a special form of martial arts that can increase their speed. How does the race balance work, since the race is stated as being the slowest but most damage dealing race?

Shawn: One of the many changes in “TwelveSky 2” consists of rebalancing the three original factions. The Jinong race, now called the Fierce Tiger Clan, is now equally the same in terms of stats and bonuses, compared to the other races comprised of the Ancient Sky Clan, the Royal Snake Clan, and the Imperial Dragon Clan. Storyline wise however, the Tigers are still focusing on sheer strength above all else.

Onrpg members: Can you provide us an in-game screen shot in high resolution (1280×1024 is enough)?

Shawn: We will be distributing more exclusive screenshots and other material for “TwelveSky 2” within a week. Keep your eyes open!

Onrpg members: What kind of monsters will be battled, and will there be more variety in them than in 12Sky?

Shawn: In “TwelveSky 2”, guests will be facing off against both beast and humanoid monsters in addition to beasts being controlled by humanoids! But overall, the monsters are summoned by the Saga Swordsman Kian, Master of the Sky Clan, in order to present everyone a chance to prove their worth.

Onrpg members: What is the level difference cap for creating parties, since in 12Sky you can’t join others if you are lower level? Will it be different to 12Sky?

Shawn: “TwelveSky 2” will be similar in fashion where party members are required to be in the same level-range of each other. However, in later levels, an Adept can take on a [significantly] lower level player in a Master-Apprentice-like relationship or team.

Onrpg members: Will there be a IP ban on North America?

Shawn: As of this writing, there are no plans for “TwelveSky 2 Europe”, which is published by MAYN Interactive, to have an IP address restriction on any Western region.

Onrpg members: Will 12Sky 2 have WASD keyboard character movement controls? That’s one thing that kept me from playing the original 12Sky, I can’t stand click-to-move character movement controls. It never works properly in a MMORPG.

Shawn: We at MAYN understand that WASD movement is the favorable method between it and click-to-move. However “TwelveSky 2” was designed on a click-to-move system. We have been working closely with Gigassoft on a number of potential issues, WASD included, and we hope to make it available to our guests for their convenience.

Onrpg members: Will 12Sky 2 feature higher screen resolutions? Such as 1600×1200 (1600×1200 is my current screen resolution.) and higher. Also will the game have screen resolutions for widescreen monitors? I am looking to buy one very soon.

Shawn: The current resolution options are reflected off of the capabilities of your graphics card. So being that your system can already support 1600 X 1200, I believe so, yes. In addition, widescreen is supported in both Window and Fullscreen mode.

Onrpg members: I know it’s not a game breaking thing, but will 12Sky 2 have a jump function with a collision system? So you can jump on to things and over things.

Shawn: Jumping is available in “TwelveSky 2” as a skill, which allows you to jump onto walls, rooftops, across valleys, and more! Feel free to act like a ninja and ambush your friends!

Onrpg members: What kind of weapons and classes will be featured in 12Sky 2?

Shawn: Within “TwelveSky 2” there are currently four player races, with a total of nine classes each. All classes are completely interchangeable within your own clan/race. The classes are as follows:

Dragon Clan – Heavy Sword, Light Sword, and the Marble; Snake Clan – Saber, Double Blades, and the Lute; Tiger Clan – Light Blade, Long-Spear, and the Phurba.

Thanks you Shawn!

Shawn: A big thank you to the Onrpg Staff for this wonderful opportunity!

Pet System Functions

Alongside tonight`s maintenance has come the arrival of the games Pet System. Pet eggs will now drop off of monsters on Regular Field Maps throughout the game up to and including Flammio at this time.

How do I hatch a pet egg?
Once you are able to find a Pet Egg from a monster you may acquire Incubator items at the Miscellaneous shops in towns with Gold. The in-game Incubators are one-time use, and attempting to hatch the egg may result in it successfully delivering a Pet to your Pet Storage window. This window may be found by clicking the blue button in your characters inventory. Players may have up to 3 pets at once, however they may only have one pet out next to their character at a time.

What does the pet do for my character?
While the pet is out, they will gain experience and provide a stat bonus for you depending on the specific type of pet. As they gain in level, they will provide more substantial bonuses as they mature. As your pet`s hunger bar decreases, they will provide less of a stat bonus, and eventually be unable to be summoned if it decreases fully. Once they have been given the proper food, the stat bonuses and their functions will return. Pet food may be found at the Miscellaneous shops and can be purchased for Gold, with different pets needing different types of food. This information may be found in the Pet Window which will also tell you the stat bonus they apply while summoned.

How can I name my pet?
Pets may be renamed one time after acquiring them, and this may be done in the Pet Window as well. Inappropriate pet names will be treated as offensive language violations as per the Terms of Service in order to keep the game a welcoming environment for players of all age groups.

What if my pet gets too hungry to summon?
If a pet`s Nutrition level drops too low over time without being fed, which is depicted by the orange bar beneath their green experience bar, they will be too weak to help your character. To revive a pet, there is are Pet Restorative / Recovery pills that may be crafted through the Material Manufacture section of your character`s Crafting Window (found through your characters inventory).

Can I sell a pet?
Pet Eggs are able to be sold via the Exchange Market before they are hatched.

What pet items are available right now?
Premium Pet Incubators are available in the item mall which allow unlimited usage to attempt to hatch Pet Eggs. There are also special pets that cannot be found elsewhere in-game as drop items, and which have 100% success rates at hatching. Hatching Supplements assist in the successful hatching of in-game pets, and may be used alongside both regular and Premium incubators. Pet Storage Space items are also available which allow players to keep a larger stable of pets in their Pet Storage Window.

Zu Online: Training on Treacherous Terrain

Wan Mountain in Zu Online was originally where the great master of the Sun Warriors, Master Mind, cultivated his spirit. The Sun Warriors of Wan Mountain originally took the leading role in the direction of the Good forces. However, after Master Mind ascended to heaven, the Flame Master conspired with dark forces, culminating in the incident with the Fire Vessel, and after driving the moderate Master Dazang away, he established his control over the Sun Warriors of Wan Mountain. Soon after that, the Flame Master was lured by Blood Demon into training the Bloodfire Strike ability and eventually leading to the corruption of the once revered Sun Warriors of Wan Mountain.  
 
Wan Mountain is now a good place for Level 120+ players to train. Listed below are the most common, though not easy, monsters on Wan Mountain. Slay them and you will progress very quickly.
 
Ophidian Man (Level 120)
They belong to the same clan as the Snakey Men in Miracle Town. They escaped to Wan Mountain in a panic after hearing of the fall of Miracle Town.
 
Snailman (Level 125)
They escaped to Wan Mountain during the Turmoil of Sky Lake, but they became evil monsters after imbibing the tainted water in Sky Lake.
 
Elite Archer (Level 132)
They are very capable pawns of the Flame Master. The crossbow in their hand is a powerful talisman which can attack at will and hit an enemy critically every time.
 
Dryad (Level 137)
The Dryads have been living in the Charitable Woods for generations. They are all endowed with the Far-sight Spirit and therefore very gentle. Nevertheless, they have never shown mercy to invaders.
 
Mephet (Level 148)
They are very fierce, giant birds adopted by the Flame Master. They all have extremely tough wings.
 
Flame Master (Level 170)
The Flame Master was originally one of the most talented apprentices of Master Mind. He is very clever, but narrow-minded and always seeking to prevail over others. However, Master Dazang, who was one of his fellow apprentices, has often defeated him, leading to an intense rivalry.
 
The restoration of the dignity of the Sun Warriors of Wan Mountain, as well as your own training, is all up to you.
